    I'm still confident his knee will give out soon and he'll be released.

    There needs to be a minimum minutes per game average in place here...playing 1 minute for 10 games should not be enough to put his salary back on our cap, that is horse crap.

    His +/- was positive while he was on the court today!

    Here's his stat line for the game:

    0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

    Looks like the Grizz are really getting their money's worth.

    If he does get injured while playing for the Grizz, even if they waive him, they will have to pay his salary for the rest of the season (or until he can play again). Would serve them right.

    But, from the looks of things, they'd probably still send him out there on crutches for a second per game for nine more games just to mess up the Blazers cap space.

    Really? I thought he was on a 10-day. Do they get extended automatically if the player is hurt? That seems like a good deal for the player, if so.

    We need to determine some kind of revenge campaign against everything Memphis if Miles does get his 10 games of garbage in. Seriously. F

    Re: Darius Miles avaliable to play tonight

    He's on a non-guaranteed contract, but for a full season. Memphis will need to decide if they want to keep him prior to the upcoming deadline where the contract automatically rolls over into guaranteed.

    I'm pretty sure they could release him prior to the rollover, but bring him back for two 10-day shots, then decide for the season.

    I actually thought the team has to pay Darius for an injury, but only after the contract rolls over into guaranteed. Don't quote me on that though, I haven't checked to confirm.

    Re: Darius Miles avaliable to play tonight

    paul allen needs to put a hit on d-miles lol

    but seriously, i thought since the league doctors ruled him medically retired, we wont have to pay him even if he plays 10 games.

    Re: Darius Miles avaliable to play tonight

    You would be wrong...If he plays his 10 games it goes back on the books because obviously the injury wasnt career ending which was POR argument to get him off the books.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Re: Darius Miles avaliable to play tonight

    I thought I recalled some language about "good faith" or something. Obviously, "good faith" isn't a measureable, but if Miles gets 1-2 minutes per game, it seems like Stern could rule that not in good faith (i.e. the player wasn't signed and played because the doctors were wrong, but just to hurt another team). Plenty of things come down to judgment calls.

    Of course, I may be suffering from a false memory. I simply vaguely recall that being mentioned sometime over the past year.

    Let's send Memphis a 2nd rounder for Miles. Give him Randolph's spot on the inactive list the rest of the year. :)

    Re: Darius Miles avaliable to play tonight

    lol.. yeah this is such a joke. 1:46 for a guy who won't even be on their team next season. Darrell Arthur played 18:26.. he's a rookie who needs time, why didn't they play him??

    I hate you Chris Wallace even more.
